Attributes of rigor and quality and suggested best practices for qualitative research design as they relate to the steps of designing, conducting, and reporting qualitative research in health professions educational scholarship are presented. A research question must be clear and focused and supported by a strong conceptual framework, both of which contribute to the selection of appropriate research methods that enhance trustworthiness and minimize researcher bias inherent in qualitative methodologies. Qualitative data collection and analyses are often modified through an iterative approach to answering the research question. Researcher reflexivity, essentially a researcher's insight into their own biases and rationale for decision-making as the study progresses, is critical to rigor. This article reviews common standards of rigor, quality scholarship criteria, and best practices for qualitative research from design through dissemination.
本文介绍了严谨性和质量属性，以及与健康职业教育学术领域中设计、实施和报告定性研究步骤相关的定性研究设计的最佳实践建议。研究问题必须明确和集中，并得到强有力的概念框架的支持，这两者都有助于选择适当的研究方法，提高可信度，并最大限度地减少定性方法中固有的研究人员偏见。定性数据的收集和分析通常通过迭代方法来回答研究问题。研究人员的反思性，本质上是研究人员对自己偏见的洞察力以及随着研究进展做出决策的理由，对于严谨性至关重要。本文回顾了从设计到传播的定性研究的常见严谨性标准、高质量学术标准和最佳实践。
